000000925 520__ $$aPrehospital pediatric emergencies are rare and stressful, requiring EMTs to perform under pressure. This secondary analysis of surveys from two Oregon EMS agencies (2009–2010) examined whether EMT gender and parental status influence comfort with pediatric care across four domains. Logistic regression revealed female EMTs and those without children reported greater discomfort with vascular access, newborn resuscitation, and airway management. Male EMTs showed increased comfort with experience, a trend not observed in females. Additional pediatric-specific training improved comfort only among male EMTs. Findings highlight the need for tailored training strategies to enhance pediatric care confidence among EMTs.
